A casual catch-up with coach Kevin Cuckovich from Kilter (alliteration overload!!!!) to chat through my training plan now that I sent the rig, and how we'll adjust things this spring and summer to help support my sport climbing goals while maintaining all of my hard-earned boulder fitness. If you'd like to train with Kevin, you can reach him at [email protected] I'm on spring break vacation with the fam and not supposed to be working, so I'm going to go bury my kids in the sand and eat my bodyweight in Oreos now.
